DONATE TO EIFL
Seasons greetings from the EIFL team! In this issue, we celebrate a big increase in access to knowledge for print-disabled people through an upsurge in countries joining the Marrakesh Treaty. Good news from our Licensing Programme - we’ve renewed our agreements with Sage Publishing and Taylor & Francis for discounted access to thousands of journals. And we’ve had fantastic news from Ghana, where 98% of the children who attended EIFL-supported hands-on computer classes have passed their exams. A big thank you to everyone who has donated to the Hands-on computer classes project. We’ve extended our fundraising drive till the end of the year, so there is still time to donate to help more children pass their exams. We hope you enjoy the issue. Read about our past and future events.
